Sting's WWE career may not have contained many wins, but the Hall of Famer has no regrets.
"The Vigilante" served as the face of WCW until it closed its doors and some pundits believe he waited too long to come to the WWE. Sting had a Hall of Fame career in TNA after WCW went out of business, but he always shied away from making the jump over to Vince McMahon's company.
That is until November 2014 when he made his shocking debut at Survivor Series, interfering in the main event and costing Triple H the match.
The appearance led to Sting's first-ever bout in the No. 1 wrestling promotion in the world, a clash with "The Game" at WrestleMania 31 in March 2015 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
Sting surprisingly was booked to lose the match -- which featured run-ins by the nWo and D-Generation X -- and though he had a few victories on "RAW," he never really had his defining moment in the WWE ring. A lot of fans are still upset over the WWE's booking of Sting, but he has no regrets over losing to Triple H.
"People took the loss personally, but in this business, you have to learn real quick not to take anything that personally," Sting told Sports Illustrated's Extra Mustard. "For me, it was a memory just being in Levi's Stadium in California, my home state, with that crowd there."
The crowd ended up disappointed as Sting fell victim to Triple H. His other high-profile match, his first and last crack at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, proved to be his last. The former WCW and TNA World Heavyweight Champion lost to Seth Rollins at Night of Champions in September and suffered what proved to be a career-ending neck injury.
Sting announced his retirement when he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as the headliner for the Class of 2015 on April 2 in Dallas.
Though he didn't have any regrets over losing to Triple H, Sting may still have some qualms over never being able to face The Undertaker, who battled Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 31 as Sting lost to "The Game."
"It started with the fans," Sting told 'Good Day Fox 4,' according to WrestlingInc about the buzz surrounding a potential match with Undertaker last month. "I was always the WCW guy and he was always the WWE guy. Now I'm the WWE guy, and it's merged and wrestling fans have always wanted to see that."
Unfortunately, they never will -- and that truly is regrettable.
